Fargo 1996

An extraordinarily well-crafted film, Fargo is a compelling crime drama from the Coen Brothers, yah. A small-town car salesman arranges for the kidnapping of his wife in order to extort his father-in-law, but things spiral out of control when the kidnappers demand more money after getting into a shooting with the police. Featuring an all-star cast that includes William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, and Frances McDormand, the performances are especially good. And, the writing does an excellent job at creating interesting characters and smart, quirky dialog. Additionally, the Coens do a great job at setting an atmospheric and suspenseful tone. Fargo is a uniquely stylized thriller that's remarkably powerful.
